Doors Time 5:45 PM
Conductor:
Peter Oundjian
Guest Artists:
Alisa Weilerstein, cello
Joan Tower, composer
This all-Joan-Tower program includes the landmark premiere of a brand new cello concerto by the legendary composer; this concerto was commissioned by the Festival and written for cellist Alisa Weilerstein, who performs it here. “[Weilerstein] and the cello seem simply to be one and the same,” says the Los Angeles Times. Before intermission we explore three of Tower’s seminal works: her Duets for chamber orchestra; the fifth in her series of fanfares spotlighting adventurous women; and her Made in America, which in turns examines, celebrates, and unsettles the song “America the Beautiful.”
Program:
Joan Tower, Fanfare for the Uncommon Woman No. 5 (1993)
Joan Tower, Made in America (2004)
Joan Tower, Duets (1994)
—
Joan Tower, Cello Concerto (World premiere commission) (2021)

Door Time: 5:45 PM
Conductor:
Ludovic Morlot
Guest Artist:
Olga Kern, piano
“Whatever it is — call it star quality —” claims the Washington Post, “music likes Kern the way the camera liked Garbo.” Olga Kern puts that electrifying technique to work in not one but two dynamic pieces: the most popular of Haydn’s concertos for keyboard and Shostakovich’s witty First Piano Concerto. (Listen for Shostakovich’s extraordinary moments for solo trumpet as well.) Former Seattle Symphony music director Ludovic Morlot conducts this program, which also includes three movements from Dvořák’s Legends plus Prokofiev’s playful and charming Classical Symphony, composed on an idyllic farm as Prokofiev took refuge from the turbulence of the Russian Revolution.
Program:
Antonín Dvořák, Legends, Op. 59 (Movements 6, 7 and 9)
Sergei Prokofiev, Symphony No. 1, Op. 25, “Classical”
—
Franz Joseph Haydn, Piano Concerto in D Major, Hob. XVIII:11
Dmitri Shostakovich, Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Minor, Op. 35
